After the incident Richie started avoiding me, he doesn’t mop at me like he use to do, he st©pped the constant looks, he was scared of his elder brother, he even comes home with his girlfriend sometimes, Sonia, who felt I was a threat to her b©yfri£nd, she was acting up in the beginning which never st©ps me from being nice to her, she later put off her attitude and started being more friendly with me, Sonia was a beautiful young girl and loved Richie, any time she spends a weekend in the house she will always want to help out, she was the only girl Richie brings to the house, and I know his elder brother will not tolerate him bringing in numerous girls to his house,
my boss was very discipline, but no woman visits him, and I haven’t met his family yet, I once ask Ben the Butler, who has being with him far before me, I asked him about my boss family, if he has wife and children and Ben told me when he newly started working for him,
“Mr Ken use to have a lady who comes around often and on, the lady c@m£ from a poor home but Mr Ken polished her up, got a car for her, s£nd her abroad for her master degree program, but on getting out she had a white b©yfri£ndand didn’t want to come back again, so Mr Ken later moved on, then after almost two years, he had another lady whom he loved and cared for, he had good intentions for her but the lady got pregnant for another man and planned to ru-b the pregnancy on Mr Ken, who actually believed that the child was his and was happy, he started planing for happy family but the truth was suddenly revealed when the child’s real father surfaced and took his child, after DNA test revealed Mr ken wasn’t the biological father, he was broken after that incident and has being on his own ever since, he use to be very harsh after those incident especially to his workers but after sometime he bec@m£ nice again, he hate it when he is taken for granted, you are very Lucky Pia to work with him, although he can be very difficult to plea-se sometime but he is a good man, this is the little I know about him, I don’t know if he has family outside here, maybe a Wife or a child, I just don’t know and I haven’t seen any before, you are the first female he has employed in years and also be kind to, he avoided female workers in the house maybe because of what happened in the past, he felt like women are not to be trusted, but he has erased that mentality and that was why he allowed you live and work with him, I have being working for him for so many years now, he trust me and I try not to disappoint him, he has being a blessing to me and my family, he is not just nice to you because you are a female, no…not all…he is nice to all his workers, but he hates it when his orders are disobeyed, but I see he is extra nice to you, don’t b!ow it up Pia, just keep being a good girl and Mr Ken will extend his kindness to your family also, just like he did for mine…
I thanked Ben and went back to my quarters, and that night I prayed for my boss to find real love and happiness again, he is a good man, I don’t fully knows his story but I know he has a kind heart which despite he has being taken for granted severally it did not st©p him from being good.
My boss called me one day and said since I will soon be going to the university I have to get some b©dy that will replace me in the house, who is also ha-rd working like me, if I don’t have any then he has to put up an advert online, he nee-d a trust worthy person, the person must know how to cook very well, and she can stay in the staff quarters like me,
I told him not to put up advert yet let me check if I can get someb©dy first, I also thanked him again for his kindness, I just can’t st©p thanking him
Today he didn’t go out he was just pas-sing orders throu-gh his phone to his company staff, after which he l@ydown on a couch while watching the CNN news showing on television, i can see his mind was far but his eyes was on the television, so I mustered courage and went to him to ask if he was okay
“Sorry to disturb you sir…I just want to ask if you are alright…do you nee-d me to do anything for you..or you want to talk about something…I will be glad to listen..I just want to make sure that you are alright..
